Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This significant day honors the moment on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the freedom of the last enslaved people, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. As we reflect on this day, let's commit to fostering inclusivity, understanding, and respect within our communities and workplaces. Celebrating Juneteenth isn't just about recognizing the past; it's about building a future where freedom and opportunity are truly available to everyone. Let’s use this day to educate, engage, and take actionable steps toward a more equitable society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality

Juneteenth marks the day when the last enslaved African Americans in the United States were freed. But did you know that while Juneteenth dates back to 1865, it wasn't widely recognized and didn’t become a federal holiday until it was signed into law in 2021? This #Juneteenth, we commemorate the journey toward #equality by fostering #inclusivity and furthering understanding. Our "Be You" core value reflects our commitment to inclusivity and upholding a workplace environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

We know allyship is critical if we want to eliminate systemic prejudices, social injustice and hate.

Find out what small actions they recommend. https://lnkd.in/erFJH_-F #HispanicHeritageMonth

It's been more than 150 years since the abolishment of slavery, yet just 10 years ago, the last reported enslaved African American, Mae Louise Walls Miller, passed away. Slavery is not distant history -- it's a recent reality with generational impact. Celebrate #Juneteenth today but remember, our work is far from over. We need intentional interventions to not only level the playing field, but also address discriminatory systems, policies, and practices in the workplace. We discussed some best practices from the legal perspective during last week's Brave Lil' Convos.
